"AC Milan considered extending Rafael Leao's contract as an expression of their support, but after the performances this spring, they are reevaluating the situation. It has been a season filled with ups and downs for Leao. Mostly the latter, truth be told, as he has struggled in the No.9 position that Massimiliano Allegri has insisted to field him in. Still, he's the top scorer this season with nine goals in the league."
"At the start of the year, Milan considered offering him a renewal to express their support, extending the deadline more so than offering a huge pay rise. However, having seen the Portuguese international's performances this spring, Milan started to reevaluate their initial plan. Any renewal, as such, is now completely at hold and it could even be abandoned entirely."
"Leao, as Moretto continues, also wants to understand whether his tenure at the club is coming to a natural end. Subsequently, he could end up being one of the big players to leave Milan this summer, especially if a good offer were to arrive."
AC Milan initially considered extending Rafael Leao’s contract as a show of support, with a focus on adjusting timelines rather than offering a major pay increase. Leao’s season has featured more setbacks than successes, including struggles when used in the No.9 role that Massimiliano Allegri insisted on. Despite this, Leao remains Milan’s top league scorer with nine goals, a total that also reflects broader attacking difficulties. With only three games remaining, Milan’s earlier renewal plan has been put on hold. Leao also wants clarity on whether his time at the club is nearing its end, and he could leave in the summer if a strong offer appears.
